Hi I'm New, The Forum, Not To Celiac!

Hello *waves*

I'm 15, and gluten free for six years, but only JUST found this forum!

I homeschool in Massachusetts, at least, that's where I live right now. We move, a lot, due to my dad's job. I tried public high school, but just wasn't for me. Why is it people need to tease you about your lunch that you bring from hoe every day, and that fact that you have vitiligo and thus your skin isn't all one color, that fact you move a lot on things like that? People can be so cruel!

I love to cook, which is very helpful! My mo is celiac as well as me. I invent recipes ALL the time! I.E. tonight i made fried chicken with ramono and garlic in it, YUM! It doesn't have that 'beany' taste!

Uh, I have two dogs and two cats, and, as of right now, 16 fish! I LOVE horses, I ride English style, and love jumping.

Can't think of anything else... uh...

Oh!

Fav movies: Butterfly Effect, A Beautiful Mind, Monty Python movies, National Treasure

Fav bands: Barenaked Ladies, Great Big Sea, Weird Al, Jack's Mannequin

Fav food: gluten-free pasta, french fries, gluten-free chicken noodle/rice soup

And I'm a TOTAL geek :)

Hey Tori

Glad that you FINALLY found us! :rolleyes:

We have lots of teens here and they love to chat. I'm glad that you love to cook and here on this site we have some really drop dead recipes. You have alot to explore here.

My daughters rode English also. They got involved in combined training and loved it. Girls and horses are special.

Well, welcome to us and glad to meet cha.

Wow! We have lots in common.

1.) I have a dog and cats (5 not 2 though)

2.) The Butterfly Effect is one of my fave movies, along with National Treasure and some of the Montie Python Movies

3.) BNL is like my favorite band, + weird al is awesome (I liked him even before white and nerdy came out)

4.) My favorite foods are exactly the same

5.) I also LOVE horses, and ride English, though I haven't ridden in a while due to my health. I used to be in Pony Club (I dont know if you've heard of it but they do jumping and English and lots more) I have 4 horses, but one of them is at a therapeutic riding center.

6.) I am a total geek, but I like Dr.Who better than stargate

Feel free to pm me

Just an old lady here but when I was in high school (seems like eons ago) I got picked on because I brought my own lunch as well..... I brought it because it was cheaper then buying one from the school and my family was poor.

Anyone can be cruel at times even the perfect people.... remember the expirience... when you see some poor soul on the street and have the opportunity to either make fun of them or help them... maybe you cant afford a quarter to help them buy something to eat but maybe you have a kind word instead, those cost nothing.

Weird Al still sings?!?!?!?! B) dang wouldn't have figured he was still around let alone making parodies still, lol

BNL yuppers like them (even if I am an old lady, lol)

3 dogs 2 cats (but just bought 9 acres so plan on expanding that number, lol and it will include a horse or 2 I am sure, lol)

Hi,

I'm new to the forum but not new to celiac disease as well. I was dianosed @ 6 and I am now 16. Hey, I'm homeschooled too! I was all of kindergarden, 1/2 of the first grade, then my family moved and found a really great Christian school, went there the second 1/2 of first grade and all of second grade, then from third grade on I have been homeschooled. I LOVE to cook as well. I must say that Rachel Ray is my favorite movie star :lol: My mom and I are gluten free, but my dad and brother aren't, so I cook both ways but lean more toward the gluten-free. I think the laugh is on those kids who were making fun of you because you brought your lunch, caf. food is really bad! Who wants mystery meat when you can eat homemade everyday?

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck
